restricting a particular key stroke or key code

hi guys :)

is there a shortcut (algorithm) to restrict a certain key events

ex: assuming that e is a KeyEvent object

if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER ||
e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_SPACE ||
e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_BACKSPACE ) {

// do something
}


or in a pseudocode style

1) if keycode is not equal to space bar or enter or shift or tab f2 or f3
3) if keycode is ONLY equal to Space bar and enter and shift and tab
2) if keycode is ONLY equal to alphabet

i can make a huge if statement to accomplish what i need. (though im not yet trying it but it will eat all my spaces on my code.

is there atleast a short way to do what i want to do in here?

thanks :)

Not fully sure what you are asking...but it seems the first two are easily covered with the code you posted (not that long). For the last, the VK_* are sequential numbers, so just use a >= VK_A && <= VK_Z

Code :

---

>= VK_A && <= VK_Z

---

oh yes the answer is already there.. i forgot VK are all represented by integer... how dumb i didnt notice it

got it got it.. thanks bro:)
